- This statue is pretty cool! Great colours! I like his expression, too.
The necklace is really fabulous! - Robyn said…
- All of the above and that stone background is really so simple but so effective. Can you tell more about the necklace – it looks ceramic.

- Ceramic? Oops… to me it appears to be a golden bracelet.
It’s a fantastic contrast however, as well in color as in material/surface (stone, metal, terracotta).
What color was the CP you painted on? - Lin said…
- SUPER JOB, Ronell!!! GREAT looking necklace too!

- oh gosh, I better get going on my painting! I love the wild feel of yours! Hope to have mine done by the weekend!

- Fantastic textural contrasts!!! How in the world did you capture the differences in the different materials? It’s really amazing – my guess is the necklace is a metal, the statue is clay and the background is stone. Am I close?

- Thanks for noticing the contrasts..it is what I was after…the necklace is ceramics and brass, the statue is of clay and I set up the still life against some rocks in the back of of our caves.

- Good morning Ronell
As always a great piece. What a cute statue, and lovely necklace. - platitudinal said…
- Clay, ceramic, brass, and stone. Ronell, you painted four different materials, each with its own characteristics and textures. This shows remarkable skill. Bravo! 🙂

- What a fascinating layout for these articles. Your caves??? Love all the different textures and colors.

- He’s an interesting little chap. I like the colours and textures. Have you used some sort of resist e.g. wax on the left? But then that would be giving away your secrets!

- I haven’t given enough comment on this post..sorry for that!My mind is a bit fractered lately…
Yes, Carole, I first layed one wash, let it dry and then rubbed a candle all over(should’ve done a better job, I went TOO random, so the texture on the stone doesn’t actually make sense) and then I added a darker wash.
